A quote by Albert Schweitzer on the key to success is the topic of this blog post.

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” Albert Schweitzer

“I agree completely with this quote by Albert Schweitzer. If you hate what you are doing you may achieve some success but it will most likely not last very long. No sane person wants to do things that they dislike, or even worse, that they hate. At some point your subconscious mind will almost surely rebel and start doing things that sabotage your success. On the other hand if you really and truly love what you are doing you will be so motivated that success is almost guaranteed as you will be prompted by your subconscious mind to continue doing what you love and that will lead to success. I have worked at jobs that I truly did not like and even a few that I hated. I did all that I could to motivate myself but that will only take you so far. I know from my own life and personal experience that you must love what you are doing to hope to achieve any decent level of success in life.” Stan Burman

A quote by Norman Vincent Peale on positive thinking is the topic of this blog post.

“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” Norman Vincent Peale

“I love this quote by Norman Vincent Peale. I particularly like the humble but reasonable confidence that he suggests as that fits my goal of being positive but realistic. I still struggle sometimes to maintain positive thoughts but I do everything that I can to hold onto the humble but reasonable confidence that Norman Vincent Peale is talking about. To me you should be confident in yourself so long as your confidence is reasonable and not just exaggerated wishful thinking that so many people seem to be prone to at times.” Stan Burman

A quote by Wayne Gretzky on discovering your strengths is the topic of this blog post.

“I couldn’t beat people with my strength; I don’t have a hard shot; I’m not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.” Wayne Gretzky

“This quote by hockey legend Wayne Gretzky also known as the Great One epitomizes the importance of working with what you have. That is what he did and the rest is sports history. Instead of lamenting that he did not have enough strength, or a hard shot or that he was a really fast skater he worked with what he had and in the process discovered his strengths. Anyone who works with what they have and keeps at it will soon discover their strengths which set them apart from others. And that is one of the keys to success that anyone can use. I know from my own life that once I started working with what I had instead of complaining about what I did not have my life started changing for the better.” Stan Burman

A quote by Stephen King on the difference between a talented individual and a successful one is the topic of this blog post.

“Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.” Stephen King

“Great quote by Stephen King as I know from my own life experience that you can have all the talent in the world but if you do not work hard at using your talent correctly you are no better off than the person who works hard but has no talent. I know that some of my success is due to talent but much of my success is due to good old fashioned hard work. I started harnessing the power of hard work just over 5 years ago and the results have been spectacular. Everyone has some sort of talent. But few people are willing to work hard at putting it to good use. Without hard work success is very hard to achieve.” Stan Burman
